The #1 place to get music lists on the internet. Where most lists go to ten, I'll do them one better and go to eleven. Some of the lists will be a "best of" (the good), some will be a "worst of" (the bad), and some lists will focus on unknown bands and music (the unknown).

The 11 Best Paste Exclusives

Well...the recession has finally hit the indie world. Paste Magazine is hurting. Apparently advertisers don't have the money they once had. So in an attempt to save the magazine, if you donote money, you'll be treated to 75+ rare songs from some of Paste's most love artists. Songs include advanced tracks from the likes of Patterson Hood, The Jayhawks, and the Cowboy Junkies; live tracks from the Decembrists, Gomez, and Matthew Caws of Nada Surf; B-sides from She & Him, The Cary Brothers, and Bob Mould; acoustic tracks by the Indigo Girls, Of Montreal, and Matt Nathanson;and totally unreleased tracks from Samantha Crain, John Doe, Liam Finn, Robin Hitchcock, and The Watson Twins.

Paste Magazine has been one of the best music mags that I've read in a long time. When most music magazines are more concerned by what's hip...Paste has always been concerned with what's good. It would be a shame to see this magazine go away. They have honestly turned me onto dozens of bands I wouldn't have discovered otherwise. And every month you get a 20 song sampler CD with some of the mag's favorite new tracks...and every once inawhile, it includes a rare track or two.
